Project Description
This project focuses on international Green IS, or sustainable information systems, efforts. Specifically, the student research scholar will assist investigation into the sustainability practices of two nations, Iceland and Wales, that are considered leaders in the global effort to create a viable low-carbon world. The project will comprise both qualitative and quantitative data collection including assessments of both governments’ legislative endeavors and adherence to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Data will be collected in a low-tech environment, so the major requirement is familiarity with Excel. Depending on the trajectory of the project, some data will be collected via survey. As such, the student research scholar will gain experience in survey design methodology if desired, entailing the use of the Qualtrics survey platform.
Prerequisites
